Recently, Registrar General of India released the “Causes of Death: 2021-2023” report under the Sample Registration Survey. The report revealed that one -third of the deaths in India die due to cardiovascular disease. This figure clearly shows that heart diseases have now become the biggest cause of death in the country. Let us tell you in detail about the report.
Increased danger of non-commercial disease
The report said that 56.7 percent of the total deaths in India are due to non-commercial disease. This includes heart disease, cancer, diabetes and respiratory diseases. At the same time, 30 percent of deaths, including communal disease, maternity and children related problems and nutritional conditions, cause deaths. The figure was slightly different in the time of Kovid-19 (2020-2022), but now non-commercial disease has become a major cause of deaths.
Major causes of deaths
The top causes of deaths in the report are stated as follows-
- Cardiovascular Diseases: 31 percent deaths.
- Respiratory Infections: 9.3 percent.

Deaths according to age
- Cardiovascular disease is the biggest threat in this age group.
- The age of 15 to 29 years- The most common reason here is International Injuries.
- 70 years and up- Most of the deaths in the elderly occur due to Il-Defined or unclear reasons.
Report warning
The report also states that sometimes there may be miscarriage in the causes of death. But despite this, this data will help the government and health agencies understand the real cause of deaths in the country and make better policies. It is clear from the report that heart disease is the biggest cause of death in India and every third person dies because of it. Changing lifestyle, stress, poor diet and sedentary lifestyle are further enhancing it. In such a situation, it is very important for people to pay attention to their heart health, right diet and regular health checkup. Experts say that government and health agencies should also conduct awareness campaigns so that heart diseases and other non-commercial diseases can be reduced.
